He never said Chelsea is offering him 150k. Read his comment again, he said the least Chelsea can go in the worse case scenario is 150k.

For someone earning 300k reportedly, do you know a pay cut can be 299k?

Yeah, I saw the "at least" but the 150k was too low, meaning even if Chelsea had brought up 170k offer for Osimhen, he(Vis.chy) wouldn't have seen any biggy with it.

Maybe if he'd say at least 250k or so(as worst case scenario), I wouldn't have responded. That worse case scenario of 150k was what drew my attention.

Vischy:
Interest over footballing career, what's more important?

Score 25 goals on loan and be rewarded with bumper contract. What's hard Mr man?

Just one season loan and it's not like chelsea won't pay him at least £150k yet you're wailing

You really hate victor osimhen,Village people strong chai

Why would Chelsea pay him £150k at least down from his purported 300k at least?

Anyways, na Chelsea fan you be, so you're just looking out for your club's best interest. If he's too expensive (in terms of wage), then look for other cheaper options. Saying he should slash his wages by at least half no gel at all. It's not village people, it's just logical reasoning.

kingBolton:
Player leaving Italy to England should agree to a pay cut ?
African footballer of the year should accept pay cut.
Na Chelsea bias they make them talk sha.

Lol, true talk

Every star player who moves to England does so with increase in salary/wages cos obviously Epl is richer than other leagues. Na for Osimhen side they wan come deh ponder pay cut when he's one of the hottest strikers in the world.

O wrong nau!

TrebleChamp:
Our playing style has indeed improved and we keep the ball better compared to last season, bald fraud is getting help from his new coaching crew in this area. Hope they also help him with his selection and substitution going forward.
How he doesn't see that the team need a proper 9 i don't know, Zirkzee on the pitch is more of a false 9 than a proper one..

Person weh say him be 9.5, wetin you expect?

I once put one pix here saying una Gj don see him brother from another mother

Spy360:
It is easier to score coming from the bench than when starting.

It's more come from the bench and score within the last 10mins, than to score within the first 10mins.

The obvious reasons are because opposition defenses are down physically and mentally. They are out of ideas and are more prone to poor decision making-; wrong position, poor alertness, slow thinking and loss of concentration.

In the Euros, Fulkrug will come from bench and score for Germany, but Havertz was always preferable to start.

The same thing with Garnacho or MC Tominay for United.

That doesn't mean whoever starts cannot do the same things. Or who comes from bench is not good enough. It's just tactical.

Lol, how many goals our Nketiah don score doing the bolded. Nelson or Jesus recently nko?

The only person in all our squad that we can bank on doing such is Trossard and see you underrating it and calling it easy. Lol.

Spy, Spy. Welcome back

Spy360:
If you know who Arteta be in terms of attention to defensive play, you will change your comment. Lol

This your comment would have been valid if Arteta didn't bench Martinelli ass for Trossard towards the end of last season when we were looking for all possible 3 points.

If Martinelli still continue this his nonsense, sooner rather than later, he'll be benched for Trossard.

Make him continue to dey bank on defensive awareness and tracking back while neglecting other aspects of his play. Lol

Spy360:
Martinelli and Trossard have their similarities but they are different types of wingers.

Martinelli is better with transition. Ball to feet, take a man 1v1, create chances etc, run down the flanks- typical winger. Trossard on the other hand is more of a space merchant, ball to space, positioning, goal target.

When Arteta starts Trossard he starts him as a CF/ false 9. Or where the team gets to dominate a box. That's because Trossard is good at positioning but not as good as Martinelli for transitions.

However, if you want a late surge or a tactical attacking manuveur, he is your best bet.

That said, if we should swap their roles and Martinelli begins to play from bench, you will realise that he is as good as Trossard in finishing off games.

What Arteta does between Martinelli and Trossard is purely tactical and has nothing to do with who is better. Same as between Raya and Ramsdale.

All these ones you're doing is just postulations and theories without saying what is happening on ground.

Space merchant — Martinelli (and not Trossard like you said)

One on ones— Trossard ( when last have Martinelli beat his man)

Create chances — Trossard

Nothing is purely tactical. The only reason why Arteta is giving Martinelli benefit of doubt is because he's our first choice player and he knew there might still be a player there. But like I said, it's waning as we can see Martinelli early sub(something that isn't happening frequently)

Shegzdave:
E go soon wear off
The guy is making Me doubt him at this point and I don’t like that cause he’s one of our players I really like and hope to do exploits

The way he's falling off is just alarming. Me that's one of his biggest fan here and was really looking forward to his peak.

It'll be a shame if we don't enjoy him cos I know millions of arsenal fan have really been dreaming of 23/24 yr old Martinelli and how he'll tear epl defences to shreds. Now man can't even beat one man

See the way our Lw was lively and productive immediately Trossard entered, and that's even if you neglect his goal scored

Shegzdave:
That White is so mischievous, if you watch our training clips, you’ll see the guy and his funny tricks

You mean when them Dey throw Cala like bag of rice in the box

Lol, I don personally watch White clips and I noticed he's someone that can do all these kind of rough play wey if you no understand am, you fit vex .
The guy na real agbero with calm demeanor.
Normally, that thing wey Mcginn do to Saliba vex me wey dey watch(immediately it happened), I can imagine how Agbero White would have felt.
Lol, it was no surprise really for him to revenge that thing and e sweet me say na him side ball reach and not someone like Saka or Odegaard


Yeah, thank goodness say Cala calm down. Some people in his shoes for done pick fight for there. Emery was stylishly make Arsenal vs Aston Villa one kinda rivalry. I'm sensing it

ObaIgwe1:
You couldn't have said it better.

Like I wrote few days ago, this match is the real start of the season for me.

As if Arteta knows, even a draw wouldn't have been fine by me.

Not discounting all the past contributions of Martinelli, I think Trossard has earned that left wing.

On to the next match, I just hope Arteta will face every team this season like he is playing City and Villa.

Lol....
I believe Arteta and the boys will face every team the way they're facing Villa and City.

I just had hopes we'll win today's game especially seeing that these people won us twice last season that it badly affected us. Arteta have a way of psyching his team in such situation

I believe this season, I no go lie. This is the season that if it goes wrong, I fit cry cos it is the season that we're really ready in terms of competing.

Hopefully, they bring that trophy home

Shegzdave:
Why I feel he’s starting ahead of trossard is cause he defend and trackback better than trossard

While it's true but at a point, that defending and tracking back will no longer be enough to see him start. The way he combines losing the ball, poor decision making and overall poor display is shocking.

That his defending and tracking back immunity go soon wear off

Shegzdave:
I swear but knowing the kind of person he is and watching our training clips, I’ll say he did it on purpose

That thing Ben White did was straight down deliberate. Ben White hardly budey ball, not when he's free.

E sweet me cos the ball really get Mcginn for face.

Una see wetin dem do Cala for dying minutes?
My thoughts is that Emery wants to be doing a Mourinho on us the way Mou was doing Wenger. Unfortunately for him, no be soft boys dey arsenal again

Roland17:
Who else felt Trossard’s celebration sort of questioned why he isn’t starting?

I felt that too. At a point, I thought the goal was chalked off cos he didn't even celebrate initially

Man must have watched Martinelli stink up the joint and questioned why he's not starting.

Back to back Raya miraculous Save. Man has been incredible. My goodness!!

Anyone who has Saliba already have 95% of his defense covered. Omorr, today was a monster performance from him.

Another day to say Odegaard is a genius. Those two defence splitting passes to set up Saka for a one on one and to set up play for the first goal was something only the eyes of Ozil and Fabregas can see.
I dunno whether he has a pact not to score Aston Villa but thank goodness his miss wasn't costly today unlike last year.

Trossard must be wondering what he has to do to start. Martinelli dey fall hands big time and it's unfair he's still starting while Trossard is on the bench. Any top team needs a Trossard. Can't believe we bought him for £20m. What a steal.

Villa were well drilled today and their midblock was suberb in disrupting our play from moving out from the back. Thankfully tonight is our night.

Saka 4g/a in 2 games. Starboy!!!!

Brighton next. Hopefully Another 3points to gain.

Coyg!!!

The way Martinelli down-spiralled ehh... Only Heaven knows..

Can't beat his man
Just a one trick pony
Decision making and execution very very poor.

Omorr, how did he get down there?

daveP:
Let's also not forget the years of no ambition by our club. Arteta can't make me forget such era. It was abysmal and there was no consolidation whatsoever. I still remember how other ambitious teams were coming for our players and were using them to win trophies almost immediately. Like immediately. Meaning that the club was toying with jewels and gems and not doing the necessary to make them dominate and win trophies. It was a bad bad time to be both an Arsenal fan and a Super Eagles fan that year. But even Super Eagles won AFCON sef.😹😹😹

Chest go dey hook fan cos Transfer go come and go asif all the injuries were not enough reason to buy replacements. We go dry queue up mentally for a particular player to return from injury for UCL night. Only for 21mins in and no hope for next game. As much as 4 to 8. And when small small buying came, the insatiable nature has overtaken the average fan that even when Giroud began, many were still not convince until Sanchez landed. Cant forget that extra £1 that was used to trigger release clause of a prospect that year😭😭😭😭

We've come a long way. I'll not blame players totally.

The system was perfect for winning but the mentality was bottom barrel. Or should i say the bottom of the bottom of the barrel.

Yes... The clubs have its own fault. Looking at it from hindsight, the players were right to move on but Wenger and Arsenal was still in their right to refuse their return (as Bluer.aydick said).

The happiness is that we've come a long way and that we're ambitious. The only person I really pity was Sanchez sha. Man played his heart soul and body for this club.

BlueRayDick:
Confirmed line-up

Like I said days ago, I'll be highly surprised if Zinny starts

So our Portuguese David Silva don go loan

Like I said normally, I'm still looking at the place in our team where the guy would fit. Started brightly but went downhill from there as quickly as he started.

Hopefully he comes back a better player else we cash out

Fkforyou:
Wenger was pissed at him then.

But come to look at it, even a club legend like Viera, I read somewhere that it’s not like he left on good terms, but we still celebrate him, and would somehow welcome his return, just like we did with TiTi. So why sanction Fabregas return? I get I might be sentimental because Fabregas was one of the players I loved at Arsenal back then, him, Rosicky, Hleb, and Nasri even though RVPs exit hurt me the most, I felt betrayed..LMAO!! So, I wouldn’t have accepted his return no matter what. But Fabregas was really loved at Arsenal, Baba could have been an all time Legend at the club.

Lol..
Titi have done Wonders for us and paid his dues so he deserves to go anywhere he feels like if he so wishes and he'll have both fans and Wenger's blessings(as long as it's not our England rivals). I'll liken his situation to that of Gundo.

Same with Viera who has paid his dues too. In fact, it was because of Fabregas that Wenger sold Viera so that the former will shine.

Fabregas fall Wenger hand cos Wenger really hoped on him and built his team around him yet he forced move and left at his peak of his powers. It's painful.


If Wenger can accept Henry and Flamini back but vetoed Fabregas own, then you know (like you said) he really fvcked up Wenger well.

But make I no lie, e pain me sha. I really wanted fabregas back cos I loved him like kilode

Amigoss:
I bet You he will sub the UCL for his multiples easily if he can

Lmaoo...
Na person wey don chop Chicken Taya go talk say him miss beef

Even me, I won't sub multiple league and cup wins just for one Ucl.

Never!!

Afterall, there are many great players wey no win UCL and many scrap players that have won UCL

Spy360:
You sabi well well

I just dey wonder the kind height wey we get for team and all are good aerial ball winners. Omorr, If Nick get his tricks and tactics right with set pieces, we do get our "new number 9 be that"

Jamiuokolaa:
You also forgot to add that Una wan use trophylessness wounjure the man psychologically and he had to leave

Lol... That one dey too sha.

DeeScan:
if he was at Liverpool, he would've won the ucl

But he wouldn't have been decorated the way he is...

Amigoss:
UCL
Super cup
Club world cup

An arsenal fan calling UCL "only"

All those ones are all attachment of ucl. You can't win what you're not even competing.

Lol..
What is the only thing he lost if not UCL?

He's won everything multiple times than what he would have won at Liverpool so I don't know why you think he would have regretted leaving Liverpool?

Fkforyou:
Just thinking.

If Pep Accepted Gundogans return, why didn’t Wenger agree for Fabregas to return?

Wenger said we had Ozil so there was no room for Fab.

But aside that, the way fabregas forced move and the way Gundo left Man City are two different situations. If Gundo behaved like Fabregas, Pep would never have accepted him back and I think that's the main reason Wenger didn't accept Fab

mostob:
I just like that guy. A complete CF. We can give them 50m plus Nelson.
After all, this is not the first time we will do business with them.

I swear, I like the guy too.

Can't believe I was one of those who didn't approve of his transfer all those years sha

mostob:
Martinelli just doesn't have the skillet to play as a CF. Make he stay at LW for now. If he is changing position, it should be from LW to RW.

Lol..
My own is that he just needs to improve sha.

Remember how he was really everything we needed when he burst out as a teenager. So I won't really say he doesn't have the skillset, he just really need to impress and become more imposing physically

Amigoss:
Aside the wages,there is nothing he got at city that Liverpool didn't get and even more....

Na only Ucl he didn't win.

Any other things, he won it MULTIPLE TIMES..
Multiple multiple times

Amigoss:
Look at the way rentboys are treating sterling,All of these guys who forced a move out of Liverpool despite the idolation,gets treated like a worthless piece of shitt elsewhere

Lol, you would have got a good point if it was Man City that treated him as such and not Chelsea.
It's painful the way he left you guys, granted, but everyone knows he made no mistake forcing a move cos he got everything he desired at Man City


Most gen Z people wouldn't even know that Sterling started at Liverpool. That's how long it is.

Ijustwantto:
So, u will be playing against your boyfriend, Aston Villa tomorrow

Lol...
Be there for the revenge cos we go murder person

Manchester City only scored 2 goals because Chelsea's squad is a real-life puzzle!

They start Nkunku and put Lukaku on the transfer list... why?

Because who needs goals when you have similar names?

- They sell Lewis Hall and buy Dewsbury Hall... Hall-ifornia dreamin'!

- Colwill starts and Chilwell is for sale... Chilwell, Colwill, what's the difference, right?

- They want to keep Chukwuemeka but loan out Ugochukwu...

because one Nigerian name is enough apparently!

- Wesley Fofana starts and David Fofana is for sale... Fofana-frenzy!

Manchester City was like, "You know what?

We'll just score 2 goals and call it a day.

Chelsea's got this identical name thing down pat!

Even their coach is ENZO

While the captain is also ENZO

But before end of the season they will put one for SALE

Chelsea fans hope you've checked your blood pressure this morning ⁉️

I'm still your favourite critic and I know where I belong

Copied.

Found this funny..

mostob:
E reach our turn, CF con scarce for market. Na wa o.
Make we play with Newcastle small now. 60m pere.

Lol, if we serious play with Newcastle small, na 100m we suppose bring oo.
And that's us just literally joking/playing.

Isak was bought for 70m and even if they're under any situation, plenty players dey wey dem go raise money from.

The way you're looking at Newcastle, you're forgetting say na Arab people get that club not just some Brentford or crystal palace
